Yuletide Medley 2

The Glenn Miller Orchestra's approach to holiday music is second to none, and Dave Wolpe's Yuletide Medley 2 captures the classic sound of the Swing Era while giving clever updates to traditional hymns and carols. Smooth, efficient transitions, warm harmonies, and some brief solo moments for tenor sax and trombone make for an engaging musical experience for musicians and audience members alike. The swing feel stays constant in the rhythm section, but sometimes the figures in the woodwinds and brass straighten up a bit - listen to the original recording to make note of where these moments occur. The holiday tunes included in this arrangement are: Hark! the Herald Angels Sing, Angels We Have Heard on High, and God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen. This publication was prepared from the original parts use for the In the Christmas Mood II album recording session - this is not a transcription.
